Nice, I like those warnings! They add a lot to the atmosphere of the quest, I think.

Also, impressive map... have you happened across any of my hidden treasures? I'm not sure if they're all still intact, since "monsters picked them up" is the standard way of explaining their fate...

:D Ashi! I've been searching for your chaos-DSM-in-a-swamp for days (and have been *destructing* many a druj and nightwing because of it)! Also, I haven't posted it under the wilderness hunt thread, but I've been to all of the other treasure sites listed (by both yourself and Kom) and found one still unopened, with Gorlim and Kavlax inside! I found this yesterday after following the clues...I only managed one screenshot, which was after I mercilessly ended Gorlim :P but, here it is.

This reminds me...as a side note request to the devs, could you work on making a unique be able to be on multiple lvls of the dungeon at once? Its quite troublesome when they get stuck somewhere in the wilderness

Oh wow, that -50000 screenshot is cool! It's not mine, though. I think a DM made it.

Be careful destructing while looking for my treasures. They're out in the open!

A somewhat lower-risk strategy for finding that swamp would be to trace around the outside of the swampy areas until you find one that has the right shape. You'll still have to venture into the druj-ridden central area, though.

This is not a problem, I know of several uniques in the wilderness who have been slain at a daily basis in the dungeon.
Examples: Bolg, Wormtongue...

I had totally forgotten about that one! Or, not really forgotten, who could forget such a beauty... but I lost track of it and never was able to find it again.

There's probably a handful or two of other undiscovered small "treats" like that around in the wilderness.
I think that one is one of my favorites though.

I came across this awesome treat while mapping the edge of the world, and I must say, I love the atmosphere; squash soup served a la carte from death mold chefs in a quiet neck of the woods...
